Need some help

[sidrim]

These spots have been popping up on my panther chameleon and I can't find anything on it. Was wondering if there was something I could do before I have to bring her to vet.

There is absolutely nothing you or anyone on the internet can do for that. All you can do is take her to the vet for a biopsy.

Looks like papillomavirus

Agreed unfortunately. Been seeing a lot of this on here lately too.

You need an experienced reptile vet for this. If you post the city and state that you live in I will tag another member to see if she knows a good vet in your area.

Don't get me wrong, see a vet, but I don't think there is anyway to treat it, only the symptoms. @SharpShooter didn't you deal with this? It is contagious to other reptiles so be careful.

Yeah, unfortunately Bob has it. However his show as scabs for want of a better description. That lump in the photo is massively concerning.

It is contagious to other chams and some other reptiles so please take sensible precautions if you have any chance of contamination.

You really must see a vet with this as whilst not treatable, it can be managed.

It needs to be biopsied. Doesn't look exactly like papilloma but a veterinarian is the only viable option for a diagnosis and possible treatment.
